Assistant site manager Review

I was given an extremely valuable in site in to the way in which a major contractor runs one of its sites on a day to day basis and I found this very enjoyable. I never felt under any pressure and it was always reiterated I was there to learn, not to work.

I felt I was included in all relevant works for the position I was in. I feel all my colleagues valued me and were more than keen to answer any questions and educate me on the industry as a whole.

The management and supervisors were great. Always on hand to guide me and explain things to me and every opportunity even though they were extremely busy.

I was given enough responsibilities and tasks to keep me busy throughout the day.

As the placement progressed I was given more and more responsibility in line with skills and ability developing. I mentioned before I was never given more than I could handle but I was still tested. There was also always someone on hand if I needed any help or questions answered.

I think what I learned during my placement will stand me in extremely good stead as I apply for graduate jobs and go down whatever career path. The training will also help me in a number of my final year classes.

It was a very friendly and enjoyable environment to work in and be part of.

I shared an office with one of the site managers and the project managers office was across the hall so I was never short of supervision or advice. I was in regular contact with head office with them asking how my placement was going.

They invested a lot time and money in me and for that I am very grateful. There was no need for them to take me as a placement as there is no guarantee I will return to them when I graduate.

Future employment is enormously appealing with this company. Graduate scheme, great salary and a company car.

I was the only summer placement on this site.

Low.

Yes.
